Just out of academic curiosity - is Diablo III crackable? Does it require full server emulation (similar to Ubisoft's DRM)?

No... it requires full server emulation similar to an emulated MMO server.

Yeah, Blizzard would probably notice if someone did a brute force attempt. Hopefully.
It's kinda strange how many odd decisions they've made though. No case sensitive passwords, no offline mode for friends list, no hiding profile, recent played list, etc. Privacy and security doesn't exactly seem to factor very high with them.

It really doesn't matter. I highly doubt anyone is getting "hacked" from password brute force. It's the usual phishing, key-logging and the lot. |
seems likely agreed, but i do find it a curious practice, even if just for the sake of appearances |
I love how Blizzard reacted to that with big fuck you, sulk and closing of the thread. LOL. |
because you never played wow to know just how many scamming attempts are done daily, i would say its in millions.. dailly, and battlenet was never breached. and if it was would be far more than couple hundred people whining

It's what we call glossing over. |
whats the biggest issue ? |
The technical issues. The fact that single player is online only and what that's done to the game. Lag, broken servers, constant maintenance and unplayable games, crappy save points that are causing people to have to redo huge parts of the game when one of the other issues crops up.

This game reminds me of the writings of Douglas Adams
"The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair."

If you use, to make things easy, a password, that has only three letters and there is no difference between lowercase and uppercase letters, then you have 36 different symbols (a-z, 0-9). So, for a password length of 3, there are 36*36*36 = 46656 possible combinations.
If you use lowercase and uppercase letters, there are 62*62*62 = 238328 possible combination, 5 times as many and therefore much more secure.
If you take passwords of length 8, the passwords with lower- and uppercase give 18 times the number of possible combinations than if only lowercase would be taken into account.
So they are siginificantly lowering security of their system, even though taking uppcase letters into account wouldn't be any more work for them. It's complete madness.
This doesn't protect against phising, but it still is a lot more security you get "for free", so it's stupid to only use lowercase letters.

majority of hacked accounts are hacked by dictionary password list, not chars combination.
is a waste of time.

But this also significantly increases security against dictionary attacks, because they also have to consider words with uppercase letters. If you want to take into account, that maybe the user you are trying to hack starts his password with an uppercase letter, then you will have to check twice as many words from the dictionary, every word once in lowercase and once starting with an uppercase letter.
And - if you use a password, that you might find in a dictionary, but write it with an uppercase letter somewhere in between, like aniMal, you would be much safer against dictionary attacks - but Blizzard will just convert your password to animal and remove the added security - and for no logical reason whatsoever except lazyness.

Yup, it's mostly Mitnick-style "hacking": assuming (correctly) that most users are idiots with no computer knowledge or just common sense.
